Druk Barley

Five blue dragons, a coiled one at the centre and four at the quarters, on a camel field scattered with floating clouds in red, orange, green and blue, with a canopy at each end and a wide band of gold, blue and ivory tiles inside a fine key pattern. The five fold order again, a guardian at the centre and one facing each direction. The coloured clouds are what the dragons ride and what they gather, since clouds carry offerings upward and blessings down, and the tile border sets the endless knot round all four sides so the protection is bound in rather than stopped at the edge. The friendliest of the five dragon pieces.
